LWB ceiling panels

[Chambo24]

Hi, i'm trying to replace the OEM hardboard headlining panels, on my LWB T6, with 3.6mm ply. The front section fits on an 8x4ft sheet nicely, but the rear section is too big to fit on an 8x4 ft sheet. Are there any solutions to getting the rear section on one sheet or am i going to have to split it in half and make a join?

Hmm yes, seen these - but I'd rather spend <£20 on a sheet of ply that I cut to shape myself, rather than £180!

Why then did you say "Is that a thing?" when you had seen these so it must be?

I meant a standard sheet of ply, not a pre-fabricated/ready made T5/6 specific panel that i'd have to pay through the nose for.
